Avengers: Age of Ultron - Page 4

One of the main reasons so many people have taken to the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the interconnectedness of it all. At the same time, the attention to continuity and building a new superhero canon has wreaked no small amount of havoc on the creative end, where producers and writers and directors have all butted heads in various ways. The latest bit of weirdness comes via the increasingly honest Joss Whedon, who hasn’t been shy about his friction with Marvel Studios while he’s been promoting Avengers: Age of Ultron. According to Whedon, Marvel Studios wasn't very happy with the decision to make a TV show starring a character (Agent Coulson) they had just killed off in the movies.

And with that, these are the 25 movies you have to have on your radar this summer. Read this list. Study it. Watch the trailers. Create a game plan. Oh, and stay hydrated. Living on popcorn is thirsty business.

Welcome back to another exciting installment of Post Credits, ScreenCrush’s movie review show! On this Hulk-sized new episode, ScreenCrush Editor-in-Chief Mike Sampson and Managing Editor Matt Singer assemble the discuss the latest from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Avengers: Age of Ultron.

At some point, we’re not sure when, Sesame Street stopped being a low-key educational children’s program and started being an educational children’s program that finds time to create internet-friendly parodies of whatever pop culture event is huge in a given week. So yeah, of course the show has made an Avengers-themed sketch and of course it’s called The Aveggies: Age of Bon Bon and of course it recasts Cookie Monster as the Hulk.

Just in time for the arrival of Avengers: Age of Ultron, Marvel is teaming up with adidas for a line of new, superhero-inspired sneakers. Most prominently, the collaboration has yielded a pair of Quicksilver kicks to celebrate the introduction of the new character, although the color of Quicksilver’s sneakers makes them look like they might belong to Bruce Banner.

Typically while doing press rounds for any film that’s perceived as male-oriented, actresses are often asked the dumbest, most sexist questions over and over and over again, while their male co-stars get to answer the awesome questions. Women get asked about their diets, outfits and makeup, while men are asked about filming action sequences and their opinion about the film’s headier concepts. But one very clever reporter flipped the script in a recent interview with Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Mark Ruffalo and Scarlett Johansson, and the results are hilarious.

Avengers: Age of Ultron doesn’t hit American theaters for another week, but Marvel’s latest superhero epic opens today in many theaters around the world. This means that you need to tread cautiously if you want to avoid spoilers, but it also means that Amazon.co.uk is already offering its users the chance to pre-order the film on Blu-ray and DVD. We know that the window between theatrical and home releases are shrinking, but that’s just ludicrous. However, it’s the details about the disc that should get fans stroking their chins and saying “Hmmm.”

Did anyone really think Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch, wouldn’t live to see the end credits of Avengers: Age of Ultron? Of course not. However, now we have confirmation from Olsen herself, who revealed that she not only survives her first Marvel movie outing, she’s already prepping her second. Yep, the Scarlet Witch is going to have to pick a side in Captain America: Civil War.

We’ve gotten a look at Paul Bettany’s Vision in recent Avengers: Age of Ultron marketing materials, but we haven’t had a chance to see his incredibly powerful superhero in action…until now. The actor appeared on BBC’s The One Show, where he debuted a new clip featuring the introduction of his android hero. It’s short, but it definitely gets the job done.
